As long as you don't ever let your colonies revolt, that would certainly be okay.

How many players are we aiming for anyway?

@Grantyman i actually think its better to take a smaller nation like hansa/venice/portugal thats not in anybody's way, since i assume the larger nations will be fighting a reasonable amount.

@mainiac i don't really see a problem with you playing as BYZ. nobody's going to be a douche and annex you before you've got off the ground, and we can restrict people from playing ottomans to give you room to expand.

speaking of which, we need to agree what kind of game this'll be. I think the general standard is you can do basically what you want, but if you do something naughty then other players will react as they see fit...

ofc, if you do get annexed you can always hop back in as one of the AIs. no taking revenge though unless you have an in-game reason to do so.

Well, I mostly agree with that, although there are two rules that might come in handy that I can think of:
-no peace offers of over 100%
-if you have someone largely occupied just give him a peace offer. and if you are the one being occupied, either accept the peace offer or make one yourself.

Can't think of anything else 'exploity', well I've seen a lot of other MP games ban war taxes but a lot don't so I don't think it is needed. Just lay for fun :)

Also, I'd prefer not to play with a Golden Horde player, unless there also is a Lithuania / Poland player.

yeah... are you sure you can handle GH as muscowy?

i've seen them get stomped pretty hard by AI...

also I assume you dont want a novgorod player.

I'd love to join, I live in Hungary. But how do saves work in MP?

Edit: You updated this second, so... I'd play Austria.

Well then, if England's not too good of a choice I'd gladly play Portugal.

Edit: What happens if someone can't play one week? I don't know when we're starting, but I'll be in Spain from Monday until I think Saturday.

Portugal is already taken.
The AI would run your country I guess, unless we can find another player. This is why you should find a replacement if you know you won't be able to play.

EDIT: @Twiggie, no Novgorod would indeed be preferable. And I think I can handle the GH. Especially if there is a halfway competent Poland / Lith player. Though it without them I'll be fine too.

You'll need to find a ringer or we'll leave it to the AI if its only one person missing.
If half the people don't turn up then we'll abandon it for the week.

The host will upload the save, everyone will download it and put it into the correct folder. Then we go in. You can download it through the game but I hear thats really slow.

Grantyman I put you in for England.

Shouldn't Bohemia be on the 'needed' list rather than Austria? They seem to be the only one capable of defending the HRE at the game start while Austria is quite weak than. Having both would ofc be preferable.

I find Austria is a lot stronger than Bohemia once it gets HRE. But Ill change the main post :)

We have an Austria now, so its up to Mormota if he wants to change.

Come to think of it, I might play Denmark instead, since it starts as the head of the Kalmar Union.

Mormoty Austria

It's Mormota. Don't worry, most people misspell my name the first time.

Also, I'd rather stick with Austria. I find that they have much greater potential than Bohemia.

Edit: Never mind.

Well since Grantyman is going away this week, I guess we should play on Sundays, to start 23rd Oct.

Changing the poll to starting times

EDIT: well I can't seem to revert it to radio buttons. oh well.

hopefully someone will sign up for castille and another eastern europe power before we start :)
